Mr. Amaro,
As passionate and sincere fans of our beloved baseball team, the Philadelphia Phillies, we feel it is our obligation to convey to you our position on a very important issue: NOT signing Eric Bruntlett.
Eric Bruntlett hit .171 this past season, which is amazingly high given his level of skill and
performance for most of the season. The fact that he actually got eighteen hits is almost as amazing as you paying him $800,000 to do so. For reference, that is over $44,000 per hit. Government stimulus money is spent
more efficiently than that.
Do not be fooled by the peripherals on Eric Bruntlett's resume. Scoring the winning run in a World Series, turning an unassisted triple play and having the best beard on the team are not sufficient qualifications to earn a place on the defending National League champions.
Please do not repeat your mistake in 2009.
Do not sign Eric Bruntlett.
Thank you and Best Wishes,
Fans of the Fightins
